Just saw it. I liked Dafoe as Ryuk and immediately recognized his voice. They didn't really do much with the character, but all he had to do was provide his voice to be decent. Light was laughably bad. Like what the fuck they make him seem like a total dumbass until the very end where they show the one time he could even be called clever in the movie.

Mia was whatever. I just wasn't feeling her acting or Light's. It's kinda weird they kept Light's name the same and made him American. I mean I thought they would've made Light his nickname and given him a full American name because who names their kid Light. Light's dad and Watari were ok. L seemed fine at first and then seemed like he lost all sense of direction in his character. The pie scene was funny.

Overall this was weirdly paced, not explained all that well and mostly full of mediocre at best acting performances. Not the worst thing I've ever seen, but it basically lacked all the Light/L cleverness that made the anime and manga so exciting and intense.
